Mines

Mines are going to be usable in Mass Effect 3. It is known that squad members from Mass Effect 1 were able to use different types of mines for a strategic advantage. These mines included a sabotage mine, overload mine, and a damping mine (all seen below).

Sabotage Mine

Overload Mine

Damping Mine

The sabotage minewill be used to explode upon contact causing the enemy's weapon to overheat and burn them for a certain amount of damage. This will render them unable to fire their weapons.

The overload mine will be used to explode upon contact causing enemies to lose their shields or barriers, making them more vulnerable to attack and damage.

The damping mine will be used to explode upon contact causing enemies to lose their tech and biotic barriers and abilities for a given amount of time. They will not be able to use any of their tech or Biotic powers for a given amount of time after coming in contact with this type of mine.
